We recently stayed two nights at the Hostel Villas Boas at the end of a three weeks Brazil trip. The overall Hostel was very similar to other hostels we stayed at during our trip. Nice,simple architecture, cosy design, good looking interiors overall creating a welcoming and hostel-typical atmosphere. Surprisingly the Hostel was mainly frequented by families, rather than travellers, which...

I've stayed at this hostel three times and love it. Safe neighborhood and a short walk to either beach. The Main Street is only a five minute walk away with its stores and restaurants if you want to get away from the tourist feel near the beach
Pros- price, location, quiet, great breakfast, clean grounds and great landscaping inside.
Con-...

This hostel is overrated for the price even in high season, u will low quality. It is not nearby everything, we expected that, because they presented it in that way. We were a little disapointed. I think there are more better options. Atmosphere in the hostel wasn't bad, there is a pool ad more than one place to hang out.

Hostel is just Ok, but quite expensive for the money offered, even if we take into consideration that today this counts for most of Brazil, it was still quite simple for a mark-up price. I would not recommend this hotel.
It appeared quite far from the city centre, not really close to the beach, low availability of shops, not providing...

This place reminds of the houses described in Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novels. Go read one of his books and you will find what this place looks like. Except in the center there is a pool instead of a garden.
Very relaxing stay. Two or three nights will allow you to do everything there is to do in Arraial do Cabo.

Hi, Charlie. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. It's a pleasure to be praised by you and thanks for the comparison with the works of Gabo! We hope to always provide our guests a good time. Come back soon to another visit!

This place is very walkable to the centre of a pretty boring town, but a handy and good value place to stay if you are visiting to see the beaches or scuba dive, although the closest beach is pretty smelly in parts. It's well set up but our room wasn't cleaned during the day, and when you can't flush the...

arrail do cabo is a great place with a lot of incredible things to do. this hostel had clean rooms, staff helped us organize our travel plans, bus schedules, flights etc. nice breakfast. pool is dirty. 4 bed dorm rooms are really nice pay a few dollars more for air conditioning. nice computer, fast internet. not much of a party...

There was no electricity or running water in our room, and no air conditioning. The pool is essentially a cess pit. Absolutely filthy, terrible breakfast and they wouldn't even give us a discount for the lack of electricity and water, which we tried to argue until they called the police!!! Not a friendly bunch at all! Please, of you want...
